Title: 2-player Galaga, Xevious, Mappy?
Post by: Dougmeister on January 24, 2005, 01:45:38 pm: eBay Link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13725&item=6147567728&rd=1)

This guy says that 2-player mode means that both players play at the same time.

But wouldn't it be cool if you *could* play those games in true 2-player mode?

<Doug imagines dual-Galaga, each player with dual-fire capabilities...!>

Post by: unclet on January 24, 2005, 02:59:37 pm: The seller states that you can "play 2 players at 1 time". I did not read this to mean "at the same time", but rather both players can alternate turns before the game is over. Maybe I think that way since I know how the game is played .....

It looks like that marquee can be re created at will. It appears that all of the letters are just stuck onto some kind of blank template.

Even if that is the case... they still spelled it incorrectly. :)

That'd be kinda cool. Anyone have any screenshots of such a game? (No Photochops, please :) )

Wonder if KLOV has 'em, or are you pulling our legs? :police:
